China Joy 2021 - What Do You Want to See
China Joy is the largest gaming and digital entertainment
exhibition held in Asia. This year it will be taking place in
Shanghai New International Expo Center in Shanghai, China. The
2021 exhibit will start July 30th and end August 2nd. Over
these 4 days, China Joy will be the temporary home to some of Asia,
and the world's most talented industry specialists.
BUT, WHAT TO EXPECT?
Well, unfortunately Queen Studios cannot announce what will be
released at China Joy. But if you were on the fence on whether you
would be cancelling your weekend plans to join us online, then we
recommend you do so now! It's going to be an incredible
weekend.
WHAT WE DIDN'T RELEASE AT WF2021!
In June the QS team were in Shanghai for Wonder Festival 2021. On
the run up to the show, the team released a tonne of teasers and
held some online activities to make everything as interactive as
possible for overseas collectors. If you missed it, make sure you
check out the
Wonder Festival recap
post to see some incredible highlights.
As some of you keen eyed collectors noticed from the build up to
Wonder Festival, we made some announcements for some collectibles
that didn't actually make it to the show.
With a bit of detective work, you might be able to spot a couple of
collectables from our announcements that didn't get released. This
could mean that if you're looking for a preview scoop for China
Joy. Get out your Bat Cowls and start piecing together the clues
from our social media posts in June, as there's every chance they
could make it this time around!
WHAT THE FANS WANT TO SEE
Earlier this year we got a lot of comments about what you guys
would like to see from the Queen Studios team and in what
scale.
To answer some of these questions and gather your thoughts, we put
together the "What The Fans Want" post. This post collected all
this data and shortlisted the top five of the most requested
statues and busts.
Which you can find here.
Since then, we have made quite a few releases and announcements and
we're still receiving requests. So, here is a quick overview of
what these fans want to see in the future, and hopefully at this
year’s China Joy.
THE DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY
Some of you have clocked on to our current Dark Knight releases and
have speculated a possible collection. So far, there has been a
strong focus on 1/1 busts and 1/3 statues. But the 1/4 and 1/6
scales could become a strong series in the near future. Speaking
solely out of speculation. This would mean a possible 1/4 scale
Bane, opening up to the possibility of Two Face and Scarecrow later
down the line. With the 1/6 Catwoman planned, could there also
be a 1/6 Batman and Joker? That would be pretty awesome and we're
hoping to take at least one of these to the show pending licensor
approval of course.
BLACK WIDOW
Merciless, resourceful, and extremely talented, Natasha Romanoff,
or Black Widow instils terror into the hearts of her enemies. She's
not just an assassin, she is one of our fans most sought out
collectables.Though once evil, her natural heroism allowed her to
conquer her dark past and defect to a life of redemption. Natasha
Romanoff was born in the Soviet Union as Natalia Alianovna
Romanova. As a child she was sought out by the Red Room academy as
she possessed genetic potential, subsequently being purchased from
her family. At the academy she was brainwashed and trained into the
world of assassination and intelligence, crafting her into one of
the worlds greatest assassins. No wonder why you guys want her in
your collection.
It's no secret that the Queen Studios team have been working on a
Black Widdow collectible, but whether or not she'll be making a
debut at this years China Joy is still depends on the development
progress. Fingers Crossed!
WANDA
In our ‘What the Fans Want’ post, we saw another popular character
from the MCU make her way on to the list. Since WandaVision hit
Disney+ earlier this year, there's been a lot of love for the
Scarlet Witch. Since we shared s few easter eggs and teasers
hinting at a possible statue, the requests for more info have been
pouring in. As it stands, we can't deffinitively say if she'll be
making it to the show, but right now, we're looking at a small
chance she could!
OVERSEAS COLLECTORS
Unfortunately, because of the current Covid-19 pandemic it is close
to impossible to get to Shanghai for anyone outside of China.
Unless you live here, work here or study here, you will not be
allowed to attend. During Wonder Festival, we tried everything we
could to bring the show to you with our first annual Fans Week. The
week included giveaways, activities and online shows culminating in
some incredible pre-orders.
For China Joy, we have you covered yet again! For all those with
Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube accounts. Head to our page on the
final weekend of July and we will be exhibiting a preview show and
a review show. Then we will be sharing images, video and answering
questions in our Facebook group all weekend. Keeping everyone in
the know.
In the next week or so we'll be sharing updates on social media,
and some exclusives by email. Make sure you're subscribed to our
